Emerson Drive            

Canadian Country Music Band Known for Songs Like "Moments" and "Let It Roll"

Emerson Drive is a Canadian country music band known for songs such as "Moments" and "Let It Roll."

The band formed in 1995 in Grand Prairie, Alberta, Canada. Emerson Drive signed their first record deal with DreamWorks Records Nashville in 2001. The band's first two singles, "I Should Be Sleeping" and "Fall Into Me," peaked in the Top 5 on the Billboard charts and quickly became fan favorites but it was the career-changing song "Moments" that gave the band their first #1 single in the USA.

They received the 2002 Billboard Music Award for New Country Artist Of The Year. In 2007, Emerson Drive was nominated for ACM and CMA Group of the Year. The next year, they received a Grammy nomination for Best Country Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals.

In 2007, Emerson Drive suffered a personal tragedy when their band's former bass guitarist, who had resigned in August of that year, died by suicide. After his death, band members stated that they knew he was unhappy but that no one could do anything for him.

The current members of Emerson Drive are Brad Mates (lead vocals), Danick Dupelle (guitars, backing vocals), Mike Melancon (drums), and Dale Wallace (keyboards, vocals).

The band has toured with many big-name country artists including Toby Keith, Shania Twain, and Big & Rich.
